My linux desktop journey started last month with Arch and Cinnamon and after some distro-hopping settled with Debian testing and Gnome. Been running this for the last few weeks.

Lol, there's a blast from the past. No, it's Clementine, a music player.

It is, but I’ve had better stability with Nvidia cards.

I updated an older wallpaper for larger screens. Can't get in touch with the original author after many tries.

That wallpaper is weird, but I kinda like it.  What resolution is it and are you willing to share?

A fine feature of this setup is that an Intel 12600KF + Clear Linux achieves about exactly the same single-core performance in apps as an i9-13900K + windows11.

It's a 5120x2880 wallpaper. I guess there's no harm in sharing. If the wallpaper appears too compressed then I'll see about uploading in full - there's a limit of 4 MB here.

How did you get your dock and top bar to be transparent, as that looks awesome!

You're the first to ask

The dock is the Dash to Dock extension. The opacity can be set in its settings:

For the opacity of the top panel I used the Transparent Top Bar (Adjustable transparency) extension. The opacity is adjustable in its settings:
